Yeah i signed up yesterday .

Whitetail are so much easier to spot!

Shot a 22lb turkey today, not sure whats large for them though?

I generally like the pistol for close'ish shots for the accuracy, but thinking the shotty could be more fun!

Still not beaten my biggest (and longest) shot yet, 587.5 and 232lbs

Ive been wandering round for an hour now and seen nothing, not even anything to track dear from. Obviously doing something wrong. What is it im looking for to track dear, cant seem to see anything.

What's your username DG? I'll keep an eye out for you.

I was 6th for a while but now 14th I think.

Other than beards, weight & length of talon/claw thingies, does anything else contribute to the Turkey score?

Not for a doe.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Can you get machine guns and grenades in this game?

 

[Hodders]

Love it - just hunted down a doe and a buck. Spooked what looked like a great big one but eventually picked up his trail again.

Loving it - gorgeous scenery.

top shot is 720 odd feet i believe

some are using exploit if animal is wounded and going back further and shooting it from great distance as i believe that counts aswell.


the main field / meadow i go to now is more or less guaranteed a kill

its about a centimeter from teepee or wigwam on map massive meadow.

i seen about 5 turkeys and 6 deer at same time next to each other there .

great spot if youy struggling to find anything or new.

or try the big square with little squares round it.

I don't think so, what I read was that only single shot ethical buck kills hit the leaderboard.
